hi guys desperate for a more resent report on eastco as we have been recommended using them in march and no one seems to have recently used them p.s. we have never been overseas more or less africa

If you are uncomfortable using EASTCO, then check out the East Africa Trip Report Index and see what other outfitters are being used:

I've used Kibo Guides and had great experiences every time.

Pippvic: sorry I didn't respond sooner and hope your trip came out OK. We did end up going with EASTCO and the safari part was perfect. Great guide and experience. We did have one minor snafu which was in Zanzibar, where we were accidentally booked for two nights in Stone Town when we expected to be at the beach already. We worked it out though, and Simon got us a refund.
